Last Supper

It was Peter.

John 13:8, 9 - Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me." Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"

[NKJV]

The last supper held with Jesus must have taken a while. If you read the Bible they talked and ate and Jesus was trying to prepare the disciples for his death and how their lives would change after he was crucified. During the evening he also told them about remembering him by eating bread and wine and also washed their feet.

When they went to pray in the garden afterwards it was very late and the disciples were so tired they kept falling asleep even though Jesus asked them to stay awake.

I think they did a lot on the day Jesus was arrested.

The Old Testament bore the promise of the Christ... the New Testament testifies to its fulfillment.

The unbelief of God's "elect," the two houses of Israel, caused them to stumble, fall and be scattered. But this resulted in the closed door of their exclusivity to be opened to "all the families on earth" [Gen.26:4] to God's salvation through Christ.

"...to him who knocks, the door will be opened." (Matt.7:8 NIV)

"...The LORD spoke to me with His strong hand upon me, warning me not to follow the way of this people. He said: 'Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it.

"The LORD Almighty is the One you are to regard as Holy, He is the One you are to fear, He is the One you are to dread, and He will be your sanctuary; but for BOTH HOUSES OF ISRAEL He will be a Stone that causes men to stumble and a Rock that makes them fall. And for the people of Jerusalem [the Jews] He will be a trap and a snare. Many of them will stumble; they will fall and be broken, they will be snared and captured.'

"BIND UP THE TESTIMONY and SEAL UP THE LAW AMONG MY DISCIPLES.

"I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding His face from the House of Jacob, I will put my trust in Him." (Isa.8:11-17 NIV)

The New Testament COMPLETES the Bible... the testimony of God.

The Old Testament bore God's promises of the restoration of His Kingdom on earth and the salvation of mankind. The New Testament bears witness to the beginnings and the ongoing fulfillment of them.

"For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God's Truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs so that the Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: 'Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to your name.'

"Again, it says, 'Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people.'" (Rom.15:8-10 NIV)

Jesus' commissioned His disciples to "bind up the testimony" of the Word of God. He revealed Himself to them, that He was the One of whom the Old Testament prophesied:

"...'Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.'" (Luke 24:44 NIV)

"Then He opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures." (verse 45)

Jesus commissioned and inspired His disciples to write down and complete the Bible for us in these latter days that approach the final fulfillment of the last of the prophecies.

In His prayer to His Father in heaven regarding His disciples... Jesus also prayed for you and I:

"...'My prayer is not for them alone [not just His disciples]. I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message..." (John 17:20 NIV).

That's why the New Testament is written: that you and I in these last days, so far removed from that time over two thousand years ago, might believe and grow in Jesus Christ. That we might not believe the conspiracies that men fear and dread... but learn to "fear and dread" Him.

"...since we are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptibly with reverence and awe, for our 'God is a consuming Fire.'" (Heb.12:29 NIV)

Who could know this, except the disciples had the faith to "bind up" [complete] the testimony?

Mark's Gospel, followed by Matthew and Luke, says that the betrayal and arrest of Jesus occurred at the darkest hour - midnight. Jesus was led away for a trial before the high priest and other senior priests and elders at 3am in the morning. Jesus was then led away for a second trial by Pontius Pilate "when it was morning', at 6am. Mark says that it was "the third hour" - 9 am - when they crucified him. So, there were two trials and each trial must have taken something less than three hours.

Notwithstanding that, it was the practice in compliance with the Torah not to sit in judgement except in the light of day. John's Gospel resolves this problem by not having a formal trial by the Sanhedrin, simply having Jesus brought first to Annas, then to Caiaphas, before being taken to Pontius Pilate. So, John's Gospel has only one trial of Jesus.

Matthew21:28-32, Luke 15:11-32.

This is a quote/extract from an official letter (verses 23-29) written by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem (the first church council) to new (gentile) believers in various districts. James suggested this particular content (v 13, 20). His recommendation was wholeheartedly endorsed by all the Apostles, and by the church Elders, and by the entire congregation there (v22).

The Council then decided that this policy be formally written up and issued as a decree and taken to various other congregations by selected and trusted congregation members. Paul, Barnabus and Silas are named as being included in that group.

Many years later, in Paul's subsequent letter to the Corinthians, 1 Cor ch 8:v1-8, he specifically addresses issues of foods/things offered to idols, and by kind and skillful argumentation, and under the direction of the holy spirit, provides further considerations to guide the Christian conscience on issues relating to food and idol worship.

The thrust of his argument in 1 Corinthians 8 remains consistent with the decree of Jerusalem, but also provides additional guidance and principles that help believers in other, yet related, aspects of Christian living. In chapter 10 he again exhorts believers to avoid idolatry, and includes counsel with reference to the prevalence of 'pagan' (and 'sacrificial') food being sold there in Corinth's meat markets (ma′kel·lon). Corinth was an ancient and prominent Greek city, famous for its temple to Aphrodite and for its temples to many other gods and goddesses. Votive offerings to these gods were common practice. In such circumstances it is understandable why Paul continued to emphasise the Christian position, i.e. to avoid idolatry. He provided the Christians in Corinth with practical guidelines, and always stressed the importance of (a) avoiding idolatry, and (b) using an informed conscience on matters of Christian decision making.

*NOTE: 'meats offered to idols' is the phrase the King James Version (KJV) uses to translate into English the one Greek word eidolothyton, which means (something) sacrificed to idols. Eidolothyton is translated as 'things sacrificed to idols' in the Douay-Rheims Bible, Webster's Bible, New American Standard Bible etc.
